Identity verification to use an API?? And via Persona? I can't say if it's real. But if they really try to enforce that, I guess goodbye Anthropic forever.

They were all the same from the beginning. Every tech company of a certain size and significance eventually begins collecting data and sharing it with state actors, as far as I can see.

OpenAI does identity verification too. I don’t know if they use Persona but they should be considered all equally as invasive.

They use Persona for their new "Trusted Access for Cyber": https://chatgpt.com/cyber, at least according to the FAQ

Yeah it was a bit tiring to read. TLDR: it started visiting HN, writing a blog about it, and the money was spent on charities.

Tangentially related: the author of the blog is listening to LukHash. I remember the guys absolutely stunning cover of C-64 Bruce Lee theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUHewyaavys

Whoah. How have I not run across this yet?!

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I remember the same. Also, "Windows 11 fans" sounds like an oxymoron.

Might be considered "Windows 11 Hostages" instead given they've dropped support for using anything else.

Wondering how long I can hold out on Win10...

It could relate to the amount of *pu and system fans needed to run so much bloatware :)

> At the start of the year, Microsoft generated a lot of goodwill among Windows 11 fans when it announced its big plan to fix the operating system in 2026.

Interesting, I can't recall a single voice "Oh I'm so happy they changed their corporate strategy" but many of "I'll believe it when I see it".

Ah, you make a great point - I made almost the same comment a moment ago, because I remember that Microslop babbled about "we will listen to the community" some weeks ago. Guess it was indeed at the start of the year.

So those who were skeptic were right - one can not trust Microslop. Its AI addiction is too strong already. It sold its soul to AI. There is no way back for Microslop anymore. All Win11 users will have to support AI. AI up all the things! \o/

SvelteKit is also from 2020.

Poland is very anti-Trump, just like the rest of Europe. However, the current president is from a right-wing fraction that decided to support Trump and now has a very hard time explaining to their votes his every crazy move.

What did you choose instead?
